Scientific Name: Grimpoteuthis discoveryi Common Name: Dumbo Octopus Species Taxonomy: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Cephalopoda Order: Octopoda Family: Opisthoteuthidae Genus: Grimpoteuthis What environment would your species be found? The Dumbo Octopus lives in the ocean.Species Habitat: The Dumbo Octopus lives in the deep ocean, at the ocean floor at extreme depths of about 9,800 to 13,000 feet. Species Diet: The Dumbo octopus eats a variety of crustaceans and plankton, like bivalve, worms on the sea bottom and copepods. Species Predators: Dumbo octopuses’ main predators are diving fishes and marine mammals, including tunas, sharks, killer whales, dolphins, and more. Species Prey: Prey include, worms, bivalve, copepods, isopods, amphipods, and different crustaceans. Three Adaptations that the species has: The Dumbo Octopus has developed long ear-like fin too help it move. It has also developed a webbing in between its tentacles to assist it with maneuvering its aquatic habitat. They also appear to have adapted to the intense pressure and cold temperatures of the deep ocean by forgoing propulsion and growing mantle fins. Species Reproduction Process: The Dumbo Octopus reproduces sexually. Males have a separate protuberance on one of their arms that transports an encapsulated sperm packet into the female’s mantle. After this process, it is hypothesized that the female can utilize sperm for fertilization at almost any time after this process, laying eggs when wanted. The eggs mature inside the female until they are ready to be laid. The hatchling length is unknown. Species Needs: This species needs water to live in, and food to eat. It also lives in the colder, deeper part of the ocean, so it’s zoo habitat must imitate these features. It also needs some light shelter or protection at a young age, so some plankton or sea plants may be needed. Species Life Span: Average lifespan of dumbo octopus is between 3 and 5 years. How is species affected by climate change: This species is very accustomed to cold water temperatures, so a climate change would offset or possibly hurt the Dumbo Octopus.How is species affected by humans: This species is not affected by humans, because of Its extremely deep ocean habitat. But, one way this species can be affected is with their diet. If humans overfish huge portions of their prey, their species could be harmed. What caused species to become extinct: This species is not extinct. When did this species live: This species evolution is not known, but it was discovered in 1882 and is still living. Interesting Fact about Species: This species does not produce ink for protection, its habitat being dark enough. When the female octopus has received sperm, she can use it to fertilize eggs any thing she wants. Males and females can be differentiated by the length of the suckers. Males have longer suckers and two tentacles that are used during mating. The Dumbo Octopus moves quickest with a fast release of water from its funnel. This technique of movement is used when dumbo octopus needs to escape from the predators. The Dumbo Octopus swallows its prey whole. Female does not take care of their young because new-born dumbo octopi are large in size, well developed, healthy and ready to survive by themselves.Author: GianaBibliography : factzoo.com, en.m.wikipedia.org, MarineBio.org, softschools.com, dumbooctopusresource.weebly.com

Scientific Name: Glaucus atlanticus Common Name: blue glaucusSpecies Taxonomy: Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Family: Glaucidae Genus: Glaucus Species: Atlanticus What environment would your species be found? This animal is found in the ocean. Species Habitat: The blue glaucus occurs in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world's oceans. Species Diet: The Glaucus atlanticus, or blue glaucus (Forster, 1777) is the only species of the genus Glaucus and only one of two species in the family Glaucidae.The animals float upside down at the surface of the sea, keeping afloat by swallowing air which is stored in their stomachs. Species Predators: Glaucus atlanticus is a voracious predator, feeding on some of the most dangerous hydrozoans known to humans. G. atlanticus is unharmed by the stinging cells (nematocysts) used for defense in its prey (Sterrer 1992, Rudman 1998.Species Prey: Glaucus atlanticus feeds on other pelagic creatures, including the venomous siphonophore, the Portuguese man o' war. Three Adaptations that the species has: These sea slugs are pelagic: they float upside down on the surface tension of the water, where they are carried along by the winds and ocean currents. Glaucus atlanticus is camouflaged: the blue side of their body faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water. Species Reproduction Process: In reality, most sea slugs are hermaphrodite, allowing both slugs to produce egg strings after mating has occured. G.atlanticus has the tendency to lay down its eggs on floating pieces of wood, the remainings of its prey, or any other object or carcass that stays afloat. Species Needs: blue glaucus need webbed feet to swim. And they need to camouflage into their environment to hide from predators. Species Life Span: this species life span is about 1 month to 1 year. How is species affected by climate change: if this animals goes on land it could possibly die.How is species affected by humans: humans can hurt the animal by putting it on land were there is no water. Interesting Fact about Species: blue glaucus has been recorded from the east and south coasts of South Africa, European waters, the east coast of Australia, and Mozambique.Author: EkereBibliography:"Blue Glaucus - Glaucus atlanticus - Details."
